  • Fox News doc says not enough ’15 to 19′ year-olds are having kids: ‘The fertility is down’

    Jump

  • Economy or not, having one person who needs to take care of two elderly parents, themselves, and 0.75 kids isn't great. That's not the goal

  • Fox News doc says not enough ’15 to 19′ year-olds are having kids: ‘The fertility is down’

    Jump

  • The dude was conflating a number of things.Teen birth rate is down the most, at 7% in 2025. 70% since 2005. Overall births are down slightly last year.Overall we have a sub replacement birth rate of 1.53 per woman.

    The last one is a societal problem. But just saying we need women to have more kids isn't a solution. You need to find out why people don't want to have as many kids. Which I would bet is almost entirely economic. Kids are a large long term expense. And if you're living paycheck to paycheck, with an uncertain financial future, a kid is a scary prospect.

  • ‘I know what it requires’: Harris on why she’s thinking about running for president in 2028

  • Not wanting to [say] something is hardly the same as supporting it, though, isn't it?

    In most cases, sure.Not when it's genocide. Calling out and condemning genocide should be a no brainer.

    people who took her silence as support of genocide, implied that somehow Trump would be better.

    That's not how logic works.

    Y'all assholes have a clean conscience not voting for someone who didn't say the magic words

    Magic isn't real.And of course I voted for her. Calling her a shit candidate who deserved to loose, because she was too stupid to make a compelling case against a felon and rapist, doesn't imply anything about how I voted.

    Again that's not how logic works.

  • She refused to even call Israel an apartheid state, let alone use the G word. She specifically said she wouldn't do anything different than Biden did. That was her position. Can't blame bot farms for her actual position.

  • I totaly whish she was president now.And in that fantasy, I'd also whish for her to get primaried in 2028.

  • She's an idiot to think her loss to a convict and rapist was anyone's fault but her own. She'll have even less of a chance against any reasonable candidate.

  • Corporate sponsored social events for lawmakers, lobbyists, and reporters to get all friendly with each other should be illegal.

    The mere possibility of the appearance of corruption should be illegal.

  • It wasn't Iran. They've lost literally every special election since Rump took office. Including all the solid red Rump counties and states.

  • You just skipped the whole beginning and jumped into the middle.You do that a lot, skip forward and back in this conversation, expecting me to follow.

    The hypothetical role reversal was literally my very fist comment, not something I brought up later. It was the question I said you didn't answer.

    And no I never suggested the comic wasn't propaganda until you gave me your definition, and it didn't fit.

    My hypothetical was designed to root out your double standard bias in applying the propaganda label. A bias that became indisputable long ago. Your unwillingness to even consider that possibility has been my primary entertainment during idle time at work the last couple days. For that I thank you. But I'm off work for the next four days. Want to pick this up then?

  • That was yesterday. More than a dozen comments ago. Are you not interested in this conversation?

    You decided to engage with it finally, by giving a definition you think makes you right. Then when I point out it doesn't. You ignore that, rewind, and claim you don't want to talk about it.

    Okay. You don't have to. You could just stop.

  • I never proposed a hypothetical or what-if. I only directly referenced your definition. Then explained how systematic patterns work among random noise, and why you can't apply them to an individual instance. I did include a real world example. But that's not a what-if or hypothetical, that's real and actual. and also only an example, not really meaningful to the point itself.

    Edit: I feel like I'm assuming too broad of a knowledge base for you. If you don't understand something please just ask instead of dismissing. I'd be happy to explain.

  • But your definition doesn't describe individual instances of anything, only systemic patterns. How can you be sure an individual instance is intended as part of the pattern?

    It's the same kind of problem as pinning down an individual storm as being a result of climate change. You can't realy, because individual data points aren't themselves a pattern. You can say this point cloud makes a pattern. But you can't be sure any individual point is part of the pattern or the background noise.

  • Absolutely there is a systemic propagation of veganism. All sorts of brands promote veganism and their products being vegan.

    But that doesn't realy matter, we aren't talking about a systemic pattern, but a single comic. By that definition a single comic can't be identified as propaganda at all.
